This film covers a few chapters in Kerala history, including the first meeting between Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama and the Zamorin of Calicut. Historical characters, including Arakkal Beevi and Talappana Namboothiri, appear in supporting roles.
Then the story shifts to the Chirakkal principality, where a fictitious plot around Vasco Da Gama takes place.
The hero of Urumi is Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar, played by Prithviraj Sukumaran. It takes some time to get on board, but once Kelu meets Ayesha (Genelia D'Souza), the movie gains our emotional investment.
Sadly, the battle scenes do not live up to the struggle they go through together.
Good drama, though.
